$\textbf{(A)}\: 4\qquad\textbf{(B)}\: 6\qquad\textbf{(C)}\: 8\qquad\textbf{(D)}\: 10\qquad\textbf{(E)}\: 12$ | The area of any kite (concave OR convex) with diagonals $p$ $q$ is $\frac{1}{2}pq$ . Let $p$ be the smaller diagonal and $q$ be the longer diagonal. Then by Pythagorean Theorem $p=\sqrt{2}$ . Similarly, $q$ is $\sqrt{2}$ less than half of the diagonal of the $5 \times 5$ grid, or $q=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}-\sqrt{2}=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Therefore the area of the four kites is just:
\[A=4\cdot\frac{1}{2}pq=4\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot\sqrt{2}\cdot\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}=\boxed{6}\] | B | 6 |

A Novel Assignment
The students in Mrs. Reed's English class are reading the same $760$ -page novel. Three friends, Alice, Bob and Chandra, are in the class. Alice reads a page in 20 seconds, Bob reads a page in $45$ seconds and Chandra reads a page in $30$ seconds.
If Bob and Chandra both read the whole book, Bob will spend how many more seconds reading than Chandra?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 7,600\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 11,400\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 12,500\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 15,200\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 22,800$ | The information is the same for Problems 14,15, and 16. Therefore, we shall only use the information we need. All we need for this problem is that there's 760 pages, Bob reads a page in 45 seconds and Chandra reads a page in 30 seconds. A lot of people will find how long it takes Bob to read the book, how long it takes Chandra to read the book, and then find the seconds. However, if we just set up the expression, we can find an easier way.
$760\cdot45 - 760\cdot30 = 760(45-30) = 760(15) = \boxed{11,400}$ | B | 11,400 |

Chandra and Bob, who each have a copy of the book, decide that they can save time by "team reading" the novel. In this scheme, Chandra will read from page 1 to a certain page and Bob will read from the next page through page 760, finishing the book. When they are through they will tell each other about the part they read. What is the last page that Chandra should read so that she and Bob spend the same amount of time reading the novel?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 425\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 444\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 456\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 484\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 506$ | Same as the previous problem, we only use the information we need. Note that it's not just Chandra reads half of it and Bob reads the rest since they have different reading rates. In this case, we set up an equation and solve.
Let $x$ be the number of pages that Chandra reads.
$30x = 45(760-x)$ Distribute the $45$
$30x = 45(760) - 45x$ Add $45x$ to both sides
$75x = 45(760)$ Divide both sides by $15$ to make it easier to solve
$5x = 3(760)$ Divide both sides by $5$
$x = 3(152) = \boxed{456}$ | C | 456 |

$\textbf{(A)}\ 425\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 444\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 456\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 484\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 506$ | Chandra and Bob read at a rate of $30:45$ seconds per page, respectively. Simplifying that gets us Bob reads $2$ pages for every $3$ pages that Chandra reads. Therefore Chandra should read $\frac{3}{2+3}=\frac{3}{5}$ of the book. $\frac{3}{5}\cdot760$ $\boxed{456}$ | C | 456 |

Before Chandra and Bob start reading, Alice says she would like to team read with them. If they divide the book into three sections so that each reads for the same length of time, how many seconds will each have to read?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 6400\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 6600\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 6800\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 7000\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 7200$ | The amount of pages Bob, Chandra, and Alice will read is in the ratio 4:6:9. Therefore, Bob, Chandra, and Alice read 160, 240, and 360 pages respectively. They would also be reading for the same amount of time because the ratio of the pages read was based on the time it takes each of them to read a page. Therefore, the amount of seconds each person reads is simply $160 \cdot 45 = \boxed{7200}$ | E | 7200 |

$\textbf{(A)}\ 6400\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 6600\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 6800\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 7000\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 7200$ | We can solve this using equations. Let Bob read $x$ pages and Chandra read $y$ pages. Then Alice would read $760-x-y$ pages. Then we can set up the equations using the time it takes them to read a page: $45x=30y=20(760-x-y)$ . Since we only have two variables, we only need two equations. Let's use $45x=30y$ and $45x=20(760-x-y)$ . We can simplify $45x=30y$ down to $3x=2y$ and $45x=20(760-x-y)$ down to $9x=4(760-x-y)$ . We can then solve the equations accordingly:
\[9x=3040-4x-4y\] \[13x=3040-4y\]
From the equation $3x=2y$ , we know that $4y=6x$
\[13x=3040-6x\] \[19x=3040\] \[x=160\]
Now that we know $x$ , we can multiply it by $45$ (Bob's speed) to get the answer: $160\times45$ $\boxed{7200}$ | E | 7200 |

$\textbf{(A)}\ 0\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 1\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 5$ | We can set up a system of modular congruencies: \[g\equiv 4 \pmod{6}\] \[g\equiv 3 \pmod{5}\] We can use the division algorithm to say $g=6n+4$ $\Rightarrow$ $6n\equiv 4 \pmod{5}$ $\Rightarrow$ $n\equiv 4 \pmod{5}$ . If we plug the division algorithm in again, we get $n=5q+4$ . This means that $g=30q+28$ , which means that $g\equiv 28 \pmod{30}$ . From this, we can see that $28$ is our smallest possible integer satisfying $g\equiv 28 \pmod{30}$ $28$ $\div$ $7=4$ , making our remainder $0$ .

$\textbf{(A)}\ 13\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 14\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 15\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 16\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 17$ | Notice that 44 and 38 are both even, while 59 is odd. If any odd prime is added to 59, an even number will be obtained. However, the only way to obtain this even number(common sum) would be to add another even number to 44, and a different one to 38. Since there is only one even prime (2), the middle card's hidden number cannot be an odd prime, and so must be even. Therefore, the middle card's hidden number must be 2, so the constant sum is $59+2=61$ . Thus, the first card's hidden number is $61-44=17$ , and the last card's hidden number is $61-38=23$
Since the sum of the hidden primes is $2+17+23=42$ , the average of the primes is $\dfrac{42}{3}=\boxed{14}$ | B | 14 |

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 4\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 5\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 6\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 7$ | There are $3$ people who are friends with only each other who won't be invited, plus $1$ person who has no friends, and $2$ people who are friends of friends of friends who won’t be invited. So the answer is $\boxed{6}$ | D | 6 |

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 2 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 3 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 4 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 5$ | Find the least common multiple of $15, 20, 25$ by turning the numbers into their prime factorization. \[15 = 3 * 5, 20 = 2^2 * 5, 25 = 5^2\] Gather all necessary multiples $3, 2^2, 5^2$ when multiplied gets $300$ . The multiples of $300 - 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2100$ . The number of multiples between 1000 and 2000 is $\boxed{3}$ | C | 3 |

$\textbf{(A)}\ 0 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 5 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 8 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 10 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 12$ | Imagine the clock as a circle. The minute hand will be at the 4 at 20 minutes past the hour. The central angle formed between $4$ and $5$ is $30$ degrees (since it is 1/12 of a full circle, 360). By $4:20$ , the hour hand would have moved $\frac{1}{3}$ way from 4 to 5 since $\frac{20}{60}$ is reducible to $\frac{1}{3}$ . One third of the way from 4 to 5 is one third of 30 degrees, which is 10 degrees past the 4. Recall that the minute hand is at the 4, so the angle between them is $\boxed{10}$ | D | 10 |

$\textbf{(A)}\ 9\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 10\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 12\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 15\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 20$ | Using the formula for the area of a trapezoid, we have $164=8(\frac{BC+AD}{2})$ . Thus $BC+AD=41$ . Drop perpendiculars from $B$ to $AD$ and from $C$ to $AD$ and let them hit $AD$ at $E$ and $F$ respectively. Note that each of these perpendiculars has length $8$ . From the Pythagorean Theorem, $AE=6$ and $DF=15$ thus $AD=BC+21$ . Substituting back into our original equation we have $BC+BC+21=41$ thus $BC=\boxed{10}$ | B | 10 |
